Chapter 6 - Niflheim Part II

"What am i doing here"

"How did i end up here?"

Lee thought to himself as he opened his eyes surrounded by mist. Broken and destroyed trees layed before him.

"I'm really lucky i tanked that". Lee said go to himself.

"Now where were we" Lee added as he dipped his hand into his coat which was a magical artifact connecting him to his warehouse where he stored his arsenal.

"Perfect" Lee said as he drew out a sniper rifle.

"You're going to die here." The creature said to The Black Knight unknown to it that the gunslinger had awoken. It then smells a change in the air, the gunslinger had moved but before it could react.

The bullet moved swiftly through the air.

THUD!!!

It has been lodged within the neck of the creature as it struggled to utter the word.

"YOOOUUUU..."

The wound had completely healed. It's speech now clear, it says.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" The werewolf exerts an explosion of mana sending the knight flying as it ran towards Lee.

"SHIT!!!!" Lee said to himself as he quickly fled though the forest. Running though the forest at incredibly high speeds. While fleeing he sees a treeless path and leaps himself forwards through the mist and turns himself back, aiming his pistols at the creature.

"Die, DAMMIT!!!" He screamed while raining bullets on the relentless monster.

The creature finally catches up to him grabbing him and smashing his head into the ground.

"That should put you down" the werewolf says in disgust as it walks away from the gunslinger.

"I don't... Think so."

Lee's voice is heard to the creature's suprise.

Lee now standing upright, blood covering his face down to his nose. He points at himself.

"You can't kill me! I'm Lee the Gunslinger and nobody and i mean nobody messes with me and get's away with it" he says with a grin.

"Amusing". The creature responds.

"Amuse this" Lee screams out as he removes a Gatling Gun from his coat firing massive rounds at the creature. The bullet hell pushing the creature away and the sound of casing falling to the floor echoed through the forest.

The bullets stop. The creature now visibly wounded get's up and looks at the Gunslinger.

"Is that it?" The werewolf said.

"You've got this boss!" Lee said with a smile.

Aki appears from the mist and slams his Scepter into the chest of the creature cracking it's ribs with great force.

"That's right you're the boss kid" Lee said as he spat out some blood.

"Are you okay" Aki asked.

"I'll be fine, first we have to take care of that thing" Lee responded.

"It's a werewolf boys!" Merlin said as he emerged from the mist, removing his axe from it's lock and returning his sword back to it's sheathe.

"As we can see it's fast, strong and can heal itself".

"I don't know much about it but one thing's for sure, it shouldn't be on this side of the world" Merlin added.

"You're saying it's from the other side, that's impossible" Aki shockingly replied.

"I don't know how it gets here or how it got past, the barrier, the border, the sea, the knights... I don't know but we have to take it down!" Merlin said as he grabbed his axe with both hands and took a deep breath.

Purple darkness and shadows begin to leak from his armour and visor. Now his two companions witness why he is termed The Black Knight. Infusing his axe and body with his darkness he propels himself forwards with high speed slashing the creature's right hand.

ARRRGHHH!!!!

The creature screams out in pain as it attempts to heal itself.

"You can't do it can you? Darkness is such a rare and feared type mainly because it disrupts healing." Merlin said with a wide smile as he started laughing at the confused creature.

The creature ran towards him as a race tore through it's arm, dislocating the only active arm.

"We make a really good team, right" Lee said with a gleeful smile.

The werewolf let's out a powerful roar which sends the three warriors flying.

"How can it be this strong till now" Aki said with worry in his voice.

It's flesh bubbling as it forces it's right arm to regenerate.

"Kill it NOW!!!" Lee screamed as he removes a shot gun charging it with mana as he pounches on the creature's shoulder firing into it's skull.

Aki charges at the creature as he uses his weight and all of his strength to force it down.

"Merlin i don't know what you're waiting for?!"

Aki screamed out as the creature struggled to free itself.

Emerging from the shadows behind the creature, The Black Knight swings his axe decapitating it and stopping it once at for all.

The 3 let out a great sigh of relief as Aki falls to the floor and the knight balances himself on his axe.

"I'm tired" He playfully muttered.

The gunslinger who was still standing, collapsed to the floor.

"Lee! Lee!" Aki yells out as he rushes towards Lee as he turns him over from his side revealing he has been scratched by the creature, leading to poisoning.

"We need to take him to a healer, now!" Aki screams in a panic.

"If there's a healer in that town, i highly doubt that would do much for him in this state" Merlin said.

"We have to try" says Aki to Merlin as Merlin grabs the injured Lee on his shoulder and they begin their exit from the forest.

The boy waiting anxiously at the office notices the figures emerging and quickly realises it's the adventurers.

"It's them... They're ALIVE!! The boy yells as he runs towards the group.

"Help! We need HELP!!!" Screamed Aki as Merlin dropped the unconscious Lee on a broken carriage and pulled it towards the office.

Aki rushes towards the boy and asked,

"Do you have a healer? Please. I need to save him." Aki said in a panic.

"Yesss..yess! she's right there in the office" said the boy.

As the three arrive at the office, Merlin lifts Lee from the carriage and places him on the desk as they wait for the healer.

The governor walks in and sees the state of the adventurers.

"I am terribly sorry" he said with a low voice.

"SORRY! You almost got us killed" said the black knight in an angry voice as he grabbed the governor's neck and lifted him up.

"LET HIM DOWN!" Screamed Aki to Merlin as he dropped the governors and left the office in disgust.

The room was quiet as they all waited for the healer to arrive.
